Morris Mini Minor
This is one of many illustrated classic car guides I've created for the eBay community. I hope you enjoy it and if you would like to find out more about the classic Mini car art featured in this guide please click here.
The new Morris Mini Minor was almost exactly the same car as the Austin Seven ( or Austin Mini ), the only differences being the radiator grille, the colour schemes and the fact that it was built at Cowley rather than Longbridge, Super saloons available from 1961, key starts and Hydrolastic suspension from 1964.
Austin Seven
Launched to a dumb-founded motoring press in 1959, the Alec Issigonis designed Austin 7 and Morris Mini Minor introduced a whole new concept in car design. The new cars were more or less instantly referred to as the Mini and seemed to capture the mood of the swinging-sixties, they seemed also to break the class barriers that surrounded British cars in general, everybody wanted to drive a Mini.
Mini Cooper
As the first sporting Mini, the Cooper was recognisable by its grille of 11 horizontal bars, Super-type body trim, remote control gearshift and front disc brakes. Twin carburettor engine gives 55bhp, and with the original 997cc unit (up to 1964) a top speed of 85mph, with acceleration to match. Total production, to 1967 - 44,859.
